MUSLIN UNDERWEAR. j 

The new year could be inaugurated in no better 2 
way by us in our Muslin Underwear Section than the « 
spreading of this unexampled feast of tempting attrac- | 
tions in fine muslin undergarments. ] 

If you knew the immense and painstaking labor 1 

which we employed in selecting and assembling this 
stock you’d appreciate the earnestness of our efforts to 
\ gather here the best stock of muslin underwear ever 
► assembled. 

[ In the first place, all these garments were made 
\ under strict sanitary conditions. They were made by 
\ cleanly, well-paid operatives, in well-ordered and well- 
kept factories. 

No “Song of the Shirt” was ever sung over the 
cutting, stitching and trimming of these garments. 
There need be no regret in sharing the economies that 
the wonderfully low prices suggest. 

As to the garments, well—no finer muslin under¬ 
wear as regards material, style, sewing and beauty of 
trimmings was ever made. 

The sale is now on. It offers you the opportunity of 
the year to get your spring and summer supply of 
muslin underwear, as well as the garments you may 
S need for present use.

WAS HE WARNED OF DEATH? 

Story of Mysterious Figure’s Appearance 
to Accident Victim. 

There is a feeling among the snpersti- 
tiouslv inclintd in Bon.lsville that Maurice 
McKelligott, w ho was killed on the Boston 
and Maine track just cast of the station 
there on Thursday night of last week, was 
warned of his impending fate on two oc¬ 
casions at least, one about three weeks 
before his death and again only about 
three days before. This condition has 
arisen from statements made to neighbors 
■ by Mr. McKelligott, who told a friend that 
about three weeks before the accident by 
which he met his death, while walking on 
’ the track near the point where he later lost 
' his life, lie met a woman dressed in black. 
’ She seemed to be of a mysterious etherial

time the first of the month. But perhaps 
that’s on account of the light load it 
carries, for it is said the employes do not 
get round-shouldered lugging home their 
pay envelopes. 

By the way, that road has a funny 
method of paying off. It pays on the 5th, 
12ib, 19th and 2Gth of the month. Of 
course there are popularly supposed to be 
only four weeks in a month, but the men 
find that the space between the 26th of one 
month and the 5th of the next sometimes 
bears an intimate relation to that historic 
suggestion of a Southern governor. Massa¬ 
chusetts has a weekly payments law, but j 
the C. V’s. men find under the system 
practiced by that road that some of their , 
pay days are 10 days apart. ‘

ONLY ONE MINUTE OF 
YOUR TIME. 

Just enough to tell you that our store won 
fourth prize in the soap selling contest cover¬ 
ing all New England last year, in competi¬ 
tion with all the large retail houses. 

How did we do such a business? 

Because the people have confidence in the 
goods we sell. They know that our motto, 

“The very best groceries money can buy, 

is not a saying meant simply to catch trade, 
but that it means that the groceries bought 
at our store are the very best obtainable. 
You’ll find it so, no matter what th ^ article. 
If we sell it, it’s the very best to be had. 
That’s why people like to trade with us— 
that’s why if they trade once they come 
again, and again, and keep coming. Are 
you getting the “best” groceries possible for 
your money?

The Annual Clearing Sale of 

Carpets, Rugs, Mattings. | 

We find numerous single rolls and remnants of Carpets and 
Matting, short lengths of Linoleum and broken lots of Rugs 
in various sizes left from a very busy Fall season. 

Many of the rolls and remnants represented in this sale are 
what remain from the cream of our last season’s stock, with no 
other fault than that they will not be made again. You can 
find plenty of some patterns to cover one or more rooms. 
Prices are reduced to astonishing figures.

Where Are We At? i 


We do not think that the entire country has 
gone mad for cheap clothes! We believe 
there are still a large number of people who 
appreciate quality above prices so low that 
quality must suffer. It has taken the efforts 
of a lifetime to establish our business, which 
— thanks to our appreciative trade—is of a 
high order, and we propose to fight it out on 
these lines of excellence to the end. We 
may make less money on our clothing, but 
our goods 

Must, Will Be, and Are Right 


Prices will suffer, but not quality. Your ward¬ 
robe will need polishing up. We have the 
styles that will do the business. Variety and 
modesty can both be suited here and at a 
moderate price. :::::: : :

The Ware-Thorndike basketball games 
fall into insignificance when compared 
with the game played between the Young 
Men’s Club team aud the Office Men’s 
team Wednesday evening at The Holmes 
gymnasium The game was called at 8 150 
with Mr TirrelI as referee, and started in 
fast and furious, the Office men scoring the 
first, basket three minutes after play 
started. The Y’oung Men’s Club soon 
evened things up, and through Parsons 
trying to do a liop-skip-and-jump with the 
hall they made another point ou a free try. 
and very shortly made another three 
points This ended the scoring in the first 
half. Soon after the second half started 
Heritage imagined the Y M. C. were not 
getting along fast enough and threw a 
basket for them. The game ended with 
the score of 18 to 6 in favor of the Y. M C. 
The game would have seemed very quiet

ed the moment he approached her. I m<

was by no means sure—that there 
s a slight touch of accent in the 
rds, such an accent as a young girl ro 
a long time at school abroad might he 
inire. 

Yes,” he replied, “I am Craig Wynd- oi 
m. I do not think, however, that I I

added bluntly. A 

No,” she assented. “I am unknown w 
you, Mr. Wyndham. Will it serve as in

I tell you that I was Mr. Pendleton’s tl

‘His friends—that Is, his real friends

‘Did he never mention to you one 1 tl

quired next. I v 

“Never.” a 

“Did he not tell yon about the duel t 
Mexico?” was her next question. i 
“He mentioned it; that Is all. I never i 
:ard the particulars.” I £ 

She was silent for a moment then, 
it suddenly she extended one hand to- 
ard him. and he saw that it contained ’ 
card. I 

“I will not mystify you any longer, i 
[r. Wyndham,” she said. “There Is i 
ly card. I have written upon it the , 
nine of the hotel where I am stopping. , 
I’ould you like to hear the particulars • 
r the duel to which I have already re¬ 
ared?” I i 

“I should, very much indeed.” 

“If you will call upon me this even- 
ig, there Is much that I would like to 
i‘U you. The woman who Is with me 
iow is my servant. She will be present 
rhen you call, but she does not under- 
tand a word of English. Will you

“Most certainly I will come. Will 
•ou name the hour when you will cx- 

pip y* 

“At 8. I have a private parlor, where 
ve can converse undisturbed. Now, 
»ne more question, Mr. Wyndham. 

He bowed, and she continued: 

“Do vou know of a gentleman who Is 
iere from Mexico, by name Escudera 

“I hope, for the present at least, that 
he may not learn of my presence In the 
city." 

“Nobody will learn that fact from 
me. I can assure you of that.” 

“How abrupt and how direct you 
are, Mr. Wyndham! Too much of both

But I did not mean my remark as you 
understood it.” 

“Will you tell me what you did

“I will risk offending yon and reply. 

I mean that I doubt very much If you 
go anywhere without the knowledge of 
that man, and therefore I hope that 
you will see to it tonight that you are 
not followed and therefore uncon¬ 
sciously betray me.” 

For the first time since the Interview 
began Wyndham smiled. 

“Thank you,” he said. “I confess I 
had not thought of that possibility, but 
I think I may assure you that Senor 
Escudera will not know where I call 


steps he happened to raise his eyes 
and, peering at him from one of the 
windows, was the smiling and hand¬ 
some face of Carlos Escudera. who 
nodded at him genially. 

Wyndham could barely repress a 
start of apprehension lest the Mexican 
had seen and recognized the lady or 
one of her servants. It was Impossi¬ 
ble to determine whether he had or 
not. but he recalled with sudden em¬ 
phasis the word of warning that Car¬ 
men del Puente had given him. 

He walked through to the back par¬ 
lor of the club and. having seated him¬ 
self beside the grate, dropped the card 
that he still held in his hand upon the 
coals and watched It until It had burn¬ 
ed to ashes. Then with the poker he 
destroyed the ashes, punching them 
down among the glowing embers. As 
he straightened up in his chair he 
heard the soft voice of Carlos Escu¬ 
dera behind him. 

“Have pity on a poor fellow, Wynd-

“Do you speak Spanish, Mr. Wynd¬

“Yes.” he replied, still in English; “I 
apeak several languages.” 

“Then If you will tell my coachman 
to return to the hotel I will be otllged. 
I gave him other orders when we start¬

“Does he understand the city suffi¬

“Quite so. thank you.” 

Wyndham raised his hat and closed

“As a good idea.” 

“Very well. Meet me at my rooms

on hand at that time.” 

This was agreed to, and the two men j 
parted. Escudera left the club at once, 
but Wyndham loitered until he had 
gone and then looked up Biggs, who 
was in the library. 

“Carleto.” he said, “I want you to do 
me a very great favor. May I depend 
I upon you?” 

I “Certainly, Craig. What is it 7 

“I have got a party on hand at my 
rooms for tonight, and I want you to 
be one of us.” 

I “It strikes me that the obligation Is

1 “Wait. You have not heard me 
through. The party is to convene at 5. 

At 6 we are to begin a game of poker, 
which is to last until 6 in the rnorn-

I “I didn’t know that you went In for

know”— 

, “Wait; wait! I know, of course, that

do right in keeping out of them, but

very important, one that 1 must keep 
and which I desire to remain a mys-

i, “I begin to—yes.” 

>- “Well, this Is what I want you to do.

“Excellent.”

Price Below Trust’s Figures. Armour & 
Co. Drop Their Prices. Possi¬ 
ble Meat War. 

The topic of the week among the mar- 
ketmen bas been the advent of a new firm 
Into the wholesale meat trade, in competi¬ 
tion with Armour & Co. The firm is doing 
business under the name of the Indepen¬ 
dent Meat Company, and is composed of 
A. W. Holbrook and C. W. Hastings. The 
first consignment of meat reached the firm 
yesterday, and a large part of it was deliv¬ 
ered at once, having been sold on order 
before it arrived. A goodly portion of the 
balance was disposed of before night, the 
firm being able to quote prices which 
proved attractive to the local dealers. 

Both members of the new firm are well- 
known Palmer young men. While they 
do not claim to be able to cope successfully 
with the meat trust, they do think they 
can sell meat at a profit to themselves, and 
propose to give the experiment a fair trial. 
The public will look on with interest if 
there is to be a meat war, and will hope for 
lower prices to the consumer. 

The announcement that a new firm ex¬ 
pected to do business in the meat line 
became known last Saturday, and at once 
created a good deal of interest and com¬ 
ment. The news quickly reached the 

__ Armour people, and their New England 

Clothing. I Agent from Boston and their Inspector 
from Hartford were soon on the ground 
looking over the situation and conferring 
with the new firm. Whether because of 
the proposed competition or not, 
certain that the price of Armour meat 
dropped all of a sudden, and has since 
been sold at prices as low as the new firm 
is making, which are lower than have here¬ 
tofore obtained. How long this will con¬ 
tinue remains to be seen. The consumer 
hopes that it will be long enough for him 
to reap some of the benefit.

Ware and Webster to Play Basketball. 

It seems probable that after all a series 
•»! have been troubled a greatdeal | of basketball games may be arranged 
* *” between the Ware and Webster teams, 

Manager Shea of the Ware team obtained 
agreement from the manager of the 
Webster team yesterday. The agreement 
provides fora game in Ware the 22d and 
one in Webster March 8, and if a third is 
necessary it will he played in Mechanics’ 
Hall in Worcester on a date agreed upon 
later. Each team is to receive a guarantee 
of $50 and expenses, and in case of a third 
game each team will pay its own expenses 
and divide the gate receipts. The choice 
of five referees is given and the players 
named are: For Ware, Riley, B. Buckley,

Many Fish. Birds and Animals Distributed 
For Stocking. Many More 
Next Year. 

Sportsmen in this vicinity will be inter¬ 
ested in the report of the fish and game 
commission of the state, recently issued, 
as it gives interesting information concern¬ 
ing the work of the commission and the 
condition of fish and game in the state 
whole, localities being especially mention¬ 
ed in some instances. 

Concerning fish and the stocking of 
streams and ponds, the commission has 
put out about four times as many last year 
as in any previous season, many of these 
being flngerlings, where only fry have 
been put out before. Of Mongolian pheas¬ 
ants 3J times as many were liberated as in 
any previous year, and the Belgian bares 
sent out to stock various sections of the 
state numbered two-thirds as many as the 
pheasants. The aggregate of game birds 
and animals liberated was five times as 
many as is usually put out in a year, and 
provision has been made to largely in¬ 
crease this year’s output another year. 

The fish cultural plans contemplate at 
least three periods for stocking with fish 
instead of one. Trout fry will first be put 
out in the spring; these will be followed 
by pike perch fry, and possibly by yearling 
trout, and in the fall, flngerlings of various 
species of trout and landlocked salmon 
will be distributed. This plan was fol¬ 
lowed the present year with most satis¬ 
factory results, and there is no reason to 
doubt that it will prove equally efficient in 
the future, although it will doubtless be 
varied somewhat, especially by including 
other species, notably the white perch, for 
the tall distribution. 

Under the title “Examination of Ponds” 
the report has the following to say of two 
ponds in Palmer:

composed of gravei, stones and mud, with 
large areas of eel grass. The maximum

note that after the examination this pond

therefore, private property and not avail¬

MR. KELLEY GOES TO JAIL. 

Warren’s Ex-Tax Collector Con¬ 
victed of Larceny. 

18 MONTHS IN HOUSE OF CORRECTION 

»Serving Sentence in Fitchburg. Is 
Disbarred From Practice at 
the Bar. 

The trial of W. H. Kelley of Warren for 
larceny of $1000 from the estate of John W. 
Downey of Warren was begun last week 
Thursday at the criminal term of the 
superior court in Worcester. The case was 
continued Friday before Judge Edward P. 
Pierce, Assistant District Attorney George 
S. Taft appearing for the government and 
Frank B. Hall for the defendant. The first 
witness was Joseph Lancaster of the 
Citizens’ National bank, who gave a brief 
testimony, and then David F. O’Connell of 
the firm of Sullivan & O’Connell was 
called to the stand. He said that he knew 
Kelley and had acted as counsel for 
Downey and also as administrator of the 
estate, on the removal of Mr. Kelley. As 
counsel for John H. Meagher, new adminis¬ 
trator of the estate, O’Connell said he had 
demanded of Kelley to file an account of 
the amount of money due the estate and 
asked him how he intended to fix up the 
matter. Kelley promised to pay each 
month on the account but had not done so. 

told O’Connell that he had money in 
the Citizens’ National hank and on Ua 
person, and could settle then if he wanted 
to. Kelley then took the stand in his own 
behalf and said that lie had practiced law 
for 19 years. He testified that $1000 had 
been bequeathed by Downey to one son, 
only the Interest, on which was to he paid 
him for 20 years, and $500 was left for a 
monument. He said that lie had not com¬ 
mitted larceny and was ready and willing 
to pav over to the estate money or its 
equivalent sufficient to cover the amount 
due. He said that Judge Forbes did not 
remove him as administrator for any 
alleged crime, but for neglect to file bis 
account. 

The case was given to the jury soon after 
five o’clock and a sealed verdict was re¬ 
ported at 10 o’clock, which was opened in 
court Monday morning. He was convicted 
of larceny of $1000 from the estate of John 
W. Downey of Worcester and was dis¬ 
barred from practice and sentenced to 18 
months in the house of correction. He 
was taken to the Fitchburg jail.

Released From House of Correction. 

A petition which was generously signed 
by Palmer people was presented to the 
couuty commissioners this week asking for 
the release from the house of correction of 
John W. Whitcomb, a 19-years-old lad of 
New York state, who was sent up Decem¬ 
ber 28th for vagrancy. He ran away from 
home some time ago and the first tidings 
his parents received from him was word 
that he was serving a term in the York 
street institution in Springfield. They 
have been trying to effect his release, he 
agreeing to return home with them in that 
event. The county commissioners granted 
the petition Wednesday, and he was set at 
liberty. _ 


Sued Insurance Companies. 

Among the cases tried in the superior 
court at Springfield this week have been 
those of Isaac «. Coven of Boudsville 
against the Boston Insurance company and 
the Farmers’ Fire Insurance company. 
Coven sues to recover the amounts of two 
policies of insurance, that in the Boston 
company being $500 and that in the 
Farmers’ $1000. Coven’s store in Bonds- 
ville was burned in December, 1900, and he 
has since been trying to get a settlement 
with the insurance campanies. On a dis¬ 
agreement as to the amount of loss the 
matter was left to three men, as provided 
by a clause in ''-the policies, and they 
awarded Coven $595. This he claims is 
not enough, claiming that the award is an 
improper one in that the referees did not 
conduct themselves properly and received 
incompetent evidence in the matter. He 
also claims that one of the referees was 
biased, from the fact that he had pre¬ 
viously acted for the insurance companies 
in similar manner. The case was taken 
from the jury and a verdict for the plain¬ 
tiff ordered in the sums awarded him by 
the referees, which with interest amounted 
to $203 72, and $407 44.

make it two. No harm if you were cov¬

Another Healthful Town to Live In. 

Palmer Journal: —In reading your valu¬ 
able paper Jan. 24th I noticed the number 
of deaths in the town of Palmer for the 
past 12 years, and the per cent compared 
with the population, the writer was led to 
examine the death record of this town to 
..-hat kind of a showing was given. 
The following table gives the deaths for 
the year 1901, in a population of 773, with

I with the snbje 


opinion 
report says: 

The change in the opening of the hunt¬ 
ing season for squirrels, hares and rabbits, 
so that it corresponds with the beginning 
of the open season for other game, is most 
commendable; while the same can be said 
of the change in the snariDg law. whereby 
snaring on one’s own land is legal only 
during the months of October and Novem¬ 
ber. But it is possible to judge with some 
accuracy of the effect of the gaine law 
-rhich prohibits the sale of partridge and 
oodcock (Acts of 1900, chapter 379), for 
beneficial results are already observable 
wi a very pronounced degree in nearly all 
sections of the state, notwithstanding it 
has been in force so short a time. There 
can be no doubt that the increase in ruffed 
erousp, concerning which there is a large 
mass of evidence at hand, is directly at¬ 
tributable to this measure and the active 
enforcement of the game laws. The out¬ 
look for the woodcock also seems some- 
hat improved, even to the extent that it 
reported breeding in this state, although 
„ is well known that its appearance is 
generally as a migrant. 

Deer are reported as becoming quite 
plenty in some parts of the state, probably 
owing to their continued protection in 
Vermont, the animals working over the 
border into this state. They have been 
s»«n at. numerous times in the vicinity of 
Palmer this summ-r, a doe and two fawns 
making their home for a considerable time

The killing of the animals is prohibited in 
Massachusetts at all times. 


DOINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE. I 


Boston, Feb. 5, 1902. 

A mild sensation of the week has been 
the Republican caucus Monday afternoon 
at the close of the session of the House to 
shape the party policy upon the question 
of supporting the governor in his recom¬ 
mendations for the consolidation of state 
boards and commissions. The caucus was 
called just at that juncture in order to 
determine the action of the House on the 
bill to abolish the office of fire marshal. 
The House committee on ways and means 
had considered it and were ready to report. 
Possibly some member of the House feared 
that the Republican party would not 
support the governor, or that it would 
make the progress of future bills more 
expeditious if a uniform policy could be 
adopted at the outset and the members be 
committed to support the governor, no 
matter if they had not seen the bills. 
There is a House caucus committee of 
eleven members, including the leading 
Republicans. No meeting was held, but 
at least a majority of them were seen 
separately and they approved the meeting. 

The first business in hand was the fire 
marshal bill, and the plan for supporting 
the governor went all right. Those mem¬ 
bers who did not like the policy of tying 
themselves before they had information on 
the matter kept silent and the vote to 
support the bill was carried. But when 
Mr. Buswell of Methuen, one of the 
caucus committee, moved that they vote to 
support ail the governor’s recommends- 
tioos for the consolidation of boards and 
commissions, the opposition broke out and 
strong speeches against the motion were 
made by Messrs. Hayes of Lowell (who 
brought out a round oi “PP laU8 , e 1 _"“ e I ,1 „_

The following table gives the number 
of deaths for the past 12 years, with the 
number that have passed certain ages, and

The above shows that 60 per cent of the 
persons dying in the past 12 years have 
passed their 80th milestone, and it cannot 
be gainsayed that this is a remarkable 
record of longevity. We have at the 
present time eight persons between 80 and 
90. and 32 between 70 and 80, which is not 
a bad showing. Q- 8 - Rookrs.

Old Landmark Burned. 

An old landmark disappeared with the 
bnrning Tuesday evening of the house on 
the farm owned by Rudolph Bkovera, on 
the road to West Brimfleld, know 
“Judge Robinson” farm. This was one of 
the oldest houses in the town at the 
present time, having been built in 1790 by 
Judah Ferry, one of the early settlers. 
The farm was laid out early in the 18th 
century, and has been in the possession of 
various owners since. 


said that he wore no man’s collar), Luce 
of Somerville and Pearce of Fitchburg. 
They insisted upon the right of members 
to judge bills upon their merits and 
ridiculed the idea of pledging themselves 
to support measures before they knew 
what they were or what facts were behind 
them. By this time the spirit of independ¬ 
ence was clearly uppermost and the whole 
incident was quickly ended by the prompt 
assage of a motion of Mr. Reed of 
Jaunton to lay Mr. Buswell’s motion on 
the table, though about as many voted 
against it as for it Then they voted 
unanimously to adjourn, on motion of Mr. 
Dowse of Malden. 

The attitude of the caucus was right in 
line with the best traditions of the Massa¬ 
chusetts Legislature,—that of honest dis¬ 
cussion of measures on their merits and of 
refusal to be bound by party ties regardless 
of the merits of a case. It might have 
been that the savings banks issue had a 
share in the result and that some of the 
members did not want to cominit them¬ 
selves to support a measure which some ol 
their constituents do not approve, — ,h ‘ 
governor’s recommendation for the 
ration of national and savings banks, 
there was no antagonism to the governor 
in the vote which was passed. The mem¬ 
bers put themselves solely on the ground 
of their duty. The weakness of the men 
who called the caucus was evident in their 
failure to oppose either the motion to table 
or to adjourn, ana in the disposition of 
members aiter the meeting to deny re¬ 
sponsibility for the matter. This incident 
will have an iffect for the whole session 
and it is not likely that any Republicans 
will try again to commit their party to 
vote for bills before the members know 
what they are. The governor’s prestige is 
not hurt, and the House Republicans staDd 
better in consequence of the incident. 

The petition of the officers of the Worces¬ 
ter Horticultural Society for legislation to 
compel nurserymen to fumigate their nurs¬ 
ery stock in order to destroy insect pests, 
especially the San Jose scale (which it 
seems to be aimed at, considering the hard 
experience of orchard owners in Worcester 
and vicinity from this scourge) will prob¬ 
ably find material support from the fruit 
interest and from the many men who want 
to raise a little fruit of their own. Secre- 


motb, the elm leaf beetle and the San Jose 
scale. Add to these the lumberman a 
greed and the careless destruction of our 
forests by fires, and the list is alarming. 
The Massachusetts state board of agricul¬ 
ture has been instant in season to give 
warning and to suggest remedies. Its 
work against the gypsy moth was so well 
done that there was not a large colony 
when it was suspended. The danger Irom 
the brown-tail moth was clearly seen and 
the warning given was endorsed by Gov. 
Wolcott, but the Legislature was wiser 
and the result will be its progress across 
the continent. The elm leaf beetle is now 
a menace to our most graceful tree all over 
New England, and there is no sadder sight 
than these brown branches struggling 
against vicious foes. The San Jose scale IS 
getting too fatal a hold on our fruit prod¬ 
uct. Iu the meantime Massachusetts bas 
no laws of scrutinv or power to enforce 
inspection, fumigation and safety. All the 
pests of Europe can come in through the 
port of Boston. Dr. Howard of the United 
States department of agriculture writes 
this office that such an invoice of plants 
and shrubs, consigned to such a party, has 
arrived at San Francisco or Boston, via 
such a steamer on such a day, and asks us 
to see that it is inspected before it is dis¬ 
tributed, and we are powerless. The im¬ 
porter knows the laws, or rather the lack 
of them, and be will go as far as the law 
compels and no farther.” 

The vaccination fight has assumed larger 
proportions this year than in any of the 
recent years that it had been pending. 
The recent smallpox epidemic has been of 
advantage to the vaccinationists and they 
have improved it to show how vaccination 
is of positive benefit, they argue, to pre¬ 
vent the spread of the scourge. But, for 
all that, the antis made such a strong dem¬ 
onstration that the vaccinationists thought 
that they had best make a display of their 
strength. Monday the vaccinationists 
brought in a man who had been left in a 
most deplorable condition by the disease 
to show what it would do when left to 
itself. One eye was gone, the face was 
horribly disfigured, and the argument for 
the cow pox seemed conclusive. But yes¬ 
terday, when the antis had the rebuttal, 
they brought in a child whose mother said 
it had been healthy before vaccination, but 
who, since it was vaccinated, had turned 
yellow in the face and was apparently dis¬ 
figured for life. Neither side doubts the 
strength of its.proofs, and each is positive 
that the other side is horribly wrong and 
violating the rights of individuals and ol 
the community. The vaccinationists have 
won thus far and there are do signs that 
have lost any ground since the last

The committee on federal relations gave 
a hearing this forenoon on the petition for 
a resolution favoring an amendment to the 
national constitution which will permit 
Congress to pass a national labor law, fix¬ 
ing the hours of employment. The matter 
was presented by Representative Ross of 
New Bedford, who has been a labor leader 
in the House, off and on, for a dozen years 
or so. He is a Republican, but his votes 
on matters of this sort have usually been 
the same as those of the Democrats The 
singular feature of the hearing was that 
the resolutions were supported by the labor 
men and by Charles G. Bancroft of Clinton, 
counsel for the Arkwright club, which 
consists of the organized body of manu¬ 
facturers of textile goods. The conse¬ 
quence of this agreement between the two 
sides hitherto hostile was that the commit¬ 
tee reported the resolve unanimously in 
the House this afternoon. It states that 
the opinion of the General Court is in 
favor of the amendment and reguests our 
senators and representatives in Congress 
to use their influence, for the adoption of 
the amendment which is now pending to 
the desired effect. 

There is nothing new in the political 
relations of the several candidates at the 
state house, but the impression is gaining 
that the opposition to the nomination of 
Col. Guild to the second place on the Re¬ 
publican state ticket comes from men who 


culture says on this subject: “I ““con¬ 
ceive no calamity more to be deplored than 
the defoliating, enfeebling, destructive 
work of insect pests, sapping the Hie of 
these grand monarchs of hill and dale. To 
save them is the duty of the present time, 


n bis contest against Bates 
, The Bates men are said 

____eolutely nothing, bnt are 

ready to take any candidate whom the con¬ 
vention may give them. It is former 
friends of Guild who are reported to be

HOUSEKEEPERS’ SALE il 

We set the machinery of this great sale of housekeeping ]; 
things in motion once more to begin its second week. Every < | 
great offering of last week will be duplicated to begin with. <> 
But we don’t know how long the assortments will hold out. I! 
Worth while, therefore, to attend the sale promptly, as in some ^ 
cases the quantities are greatly reduced, and in a sale like this 
hundreds of articles go out every day. < | 

A Sale of Fine $2 Corsets j| 
at 89c each! 

; This is a sale of “Elite,” erect form, perfect-fitting $2 Cor- 
sets at 89c each. If you know this corset you know its excel- 11 
lent features—style, fit and beauty. ; * 

The bargain comes about in this way: A lot of several <> 
hundred corsets were made up for a firm that has since failed, J | 
consequently the goods were left on the maker’s hands. We 
take the whole lot at our own price and pass them over to our *; 
customers in this sale. \ \ 

They are made of good quality sateen, light green shade, *> 
and a few whites; all sizes, 18 to 30. 

Opening Days for 

The New Wash Goods. | 

All the new fabrics from over seas as well as the proudest <; 
products of American looms are displayed where they may < > 
be seen and admired, and the public is invited in to see the * ► 
show. < - 

Wash fabrics were never so beautiful as they are this sea- \ [ 
son. On this all will agree. Designers and makers have out- J * 
done themselves. A visit here to the lover of beauty and art j ► 
in textiles is like a visit to a flower show or an art gallery. «► 

We take no small credit to ourselves on this truly metro- 11 
politan gathering. It is a much larger stock than we have {; 
ever had to show any season before, consequently the largest J [ 
ever seen in Springfield. J | 

Useless to go into any detailed description of the new «• 
things here. Only way you can get a proper appreciation of * I 
their beauty is to come and see. * < I

Where Are We At? 


We do not think that the entire country has 
gone mad for cheap clothes! We believe 
there are still a large number of people who 
appreciate quality above prices so low that 
quality must suffer. It has taken the efforts 
of a lifetime to establish our business, which 
— thanks to our appreciative trade—is of a 
high order, and we propose to fight it out on 
these lines of excellence to the end. We 
may make less money on our clothing, but 
our goods
